Chapter 42

The just invocateth God's sentence against the deceitful, that seek his spiritual overthrow, ℣.4 acknowledgeth his help, from Almighty God the B. Trinity, in whose vision glory consisteth.

1. 1

   A Psalm of David. Judge me, o God, & discern my cause from the nation not holy, from the unjust and deceitful man deliver me.

2. 2

   Because thou art God my strength: why hast thou repelled me? And why go I sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me.

3. 3

   Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and have brought me into thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

4. 4

   And I will go in to the altar of God: to God, which maketh my youth joyful. I will confess to thee on the harp o God my God:

5. 5

   why art thou sorrowful, o my soul? And why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, because yet will I confess to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
